High Frequency Clock Generator

The MC12439 is a general purpose synthesized clock source targeting applications that require both serial and parallel interfaces. Its internal VCO will operate over a range of frequencies from 400 to 800MHz. The differential PECL output can be configured to be the VCO frequency divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8. With the output configured to divide the VCO frequency by 1, and with a 16.66MHz external quartz crystal used to provide the reference frequency, the output frequency can be specified in 16.66MHz steps.
